[i18n-drafts] [questions/qa-indic-graphemes] Deletion behavior varies widely (#275)

NorbertLindenberg has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/i18n-drafts:

== [questions/qa-indic-graphemes]  Deletion behavior varies widely ==
[source] (https://w3c.github.io/i18n-drafts/questions/qa-indic-graphemes.en.html) [en]

A side note on this article says “backwards deletion ... will typically delete text character by character, and so may break down conjuncts”.

Deletion behavior varies widely between applications. In testing with a Balinese cluster consisting of seven code points in various apps on macOS, I found that it can take 1, 3, 6, or 7 delete operations to remove the cluster entirely. The most popular option was 3, and appeared to delete UAX 29 extended grapheme clusters, which in Balinese does break down conjuncts.
